Trade has long been-and will continue to be-a driving force that
shapes our world. This book documents the tremendous importance of
trade throughout history and its influence toward peaceful
coexistence among nations. From ancient to modern times, trade has
played an integral role in connecting disparate cultures and places
on the earth-indeed, the existence of commercial trade across human
civilization means that "globalization" is hardly a recent
phenomenon or trend. Daily Life through Trade: Buying and Selling
in World History documents how the importance of trade has made it
the catalyst for migration, exploration, cultural interchange, and
unfortunately, conflict and war throughout history. Author James M.
Anderson describes the history of trade and traders' lives,
examining how commerce had important consequences in various
regions of the world and addressing a wide range of topics, such as
fair trade, the World Trade Organization, and the role of trade in
sparking world wars. The book's coverage ranges from the earliest
times to the present day, and serves not only as an excellent
general reference for history students and general readers, but
also as valuable supplementary reading for those enrolled in
courses in economics and business.
